Workshop Description
This exciting workshop will focus on the exploration of one’s artistic voice by bringing awareness to the inner dialogues of thought, emotion, and decision making and the physical body in time and space.
Participants will learn how to integrate this awareness into their artistic process as they explore various expressive drawing exercises with dry and wet mediums.
This workshop will help individuals to access their intuitive instincts as well as training the eye and trusting the hand.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is for any level of experience and interest in drawing. Practicing artists can broaden their self awareness utilizing the techniques and insight of Patricia.
About the Instructor

Supply List
- Pad of newsprint paper, 18 x 24”
- Sketchbook. Anything with 90 lb paper or more; I like ones with about 130lb paper so that I can work the paper hard and it won’t tear. I like using a medium size sketchbook (11 x 8.5”) but feel free to choose whatever size you’re drawn to.
- HB, 2H, 4B pencils
- White eraser
- Charcoal—Whatever type you prefer, but be aware that soft charcoal makes a rich black mark and the hard charcoal makes a scratchier, thinner mark. You can also buy both to try the difference
- One or two conte sticks preferably black
- Glue stick
- Begin collecting different types and sizes of paper from around your house (newspaper, brown paper bag, cardboard, old envelopes, tissue paper, etc.) that you can use to draw on in the third class
- Different dry mediums to try out in fourth class (pencil crayons, crayons, oil pastels, graphite sticks, chalk pastels, felt pens, ink pens) just use what you have. You don’t need to go out and buy all these things. If you don’t have anything maybe just buy one thing on the list that interests you.
- Drawing board and something a few inches high to prop up the top like a piece of scrap wood or a thick book.
